Day 1 - Travelling

Woke up very early in Newcastle and got to Melbourne airport at about 7am and was able to checkin for our for our LA flight straight away even though we were expecting to be on standby and we were sitting together. Everything was going so well and so smoothly. Then we got through security which was the moment Chris realised he didn't have his camera bag with our expensive camera, Chris' asic and some cash in it. As I hung around border security lingering around, Chris ran back out 10 minutes later looking very relieved. He's going to have a fun week of me harassing him about that. We then got on our 13.5 hour flight which wasn't too bad and we got to see the Sydney to Hobart Harbour Race, had a few hours sleep and got a great view of LA on the way in. Then we had a long wait in LAX which ended up being 6 hours due to delays and had a rough flight getting in to Newark due to fog and had to take off again whilst landing. But we eventually got to Newark at about midnight on Boxing Day. It was so good showering and sleeping in a bed!
